A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a B.B.A. in Accounting and a Doctor of Jurisprudence, Margaret’s career has been defined by fiscal responsibility and public safety. She has served our region as the Travis County District Attorney, Travis County Attorney, and twice as a Travis County Commissioner.

As County Commissioner she made substantial contributions to expanding emergency services and to complete the acquisition of Travis County acreage for the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan. As Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Medicaid Fraud Division, she was lead counsel in cracking down on pharmaceutical fraud, leading to a $180-million judgment in the State's favor. As District Attorney, she reintroduced a focus on prosecutions and victim's rights, returning the focus to matters the office was intended to serve.

What Neighbors Are Saying
"Margaret’s commitment to community runs deep, as shown by her more than three decades of public service. Her knowledge of how local government works—and just as importantly how it should not—will be a great benefit as we navigate future challenges. I am thrilled she is running for a seat on our City Council, she has my full support."
